Subject:Re: LOCK TABLES
View as plain text  
Try looking in the filesystem for the file(s) called "archive" in the
database directory, and move them somewhere else (or if you know you
don't need them, delete them).

If it is/was a MyISAM table, or just an errant file, this should work.
 If it is/was InnoDB, this will be trickier ...
